WARNING: THE TUTORIAL IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED, BECAUSE 2.2.11 UPDATE INCLUDES 3D MODELS BY DEFAULT. HOWEVER, THIS TUTORIAL WOULD BE GOOD IN USE FOR 2.2.9 - 2.2.10 AND THE OTHER MODEL PACKS

-------------Introduction-------------
HEY YOU, YES YOU! 🫵
Ever wanted to use 3D Models in SRB2? I think you probably know how to do it. But, if your playing SRB2 on the go, I think you don't. But no worries, my Android folks, as Red is here to save ya, as this guide will help. Let's get started!


--Step 1: Downloading....Please Wait--​

Download any version of SRB2 for your Android device after 2.2.9. This is to assure you do not use the (most likely not happening?) 2.1 Android Port that was recently discovered and has yet to be compiled. Then, download ZArchiver on your App Store/Google Play Store.​

Zarchiver is an Android app that basicly acts as a better File Manager than the one you got along with your phone. With this, you can also move mods you downloaded in SRB2! We will be using this for the 3D Models. If you dont care about going into those App/Google Play Stores, Zarchiver can be downloaded on the link right here: https://www.zarchiver.net/ If you don't follow the steps how to download ZArchiver while on the web version, you won't be able to use it.)

Once you downloaded SRB2, you shuld have the folder called Sonic Robo Blast 2 (If you dont know, the picture below is taken from my old phone from 2017, which is by Mid-2023 outdated and replaced with a new one:dramahog: )​

----Step 2: Another Downloading....----
Download the 3D Models.
I recommend you to use this models, since they are the offical ones. However, you can choose whatever models you want!

----Step 3: ZArchiver Time!-----​
This is where ZArchiver comes into play. Once you found the folder, extract its files. You shuld have one folder called "models" and a "models.dat" file.​

----Step 4: Moving Away------​
Almost last step. If you know how to move the files (what a dumb question i asked :knuxsmug:), you shuld move the "models" folder and the models.dat into your Sonic Robo Blast 2 folder.​

----Last Step: Opening Up!----​

Last Step! Open up SRB2>Options>Video Settings>Redender: Open GL>Open GL options>Models: On.

In the conclusion, 3D Models are a great addition to your SRB2 gameplay, and if you want to use them on Android, with this guide, you will probably never let them be off. However, Sprites are the most picked as most mod characters dont have a model for use.​

Now of course, this guide wouldnt be here without these guys:

Jeck Jims - He created the models you can download in this guide.

ZArchiver's creators - Without them, there wouldn't be any other good file manager.

Inazuma - He took a nice review of my guide, and made me correct few mistakes.

Lactozilla - for creating the official port of 2.2.9 and the fanmade port of 2.2.10-2.2.13

Sonic Team JR - Without them creating this masterpiece of a fangame, none of us would even be here.

And lastly, you!
Thank you for your attention!
See ya!
